March loads up with a twofer of 100% Certified Fresh films out of the 2019 Festival.

Not since Senna have we seen such a dexterous handling of exclusively archive material as we do in Apollo 11, director Todd Miller’s immersive journey through the first moon landing. NASA opened its vaults to reveal never-before-seen 70 mm footage of the spacecraft’s launch, landing, and return home, making for an indelible new portrait of a pivotal moment in American history.

Also boasting an unblemished score on Rotten Tomatoes, The Mustang is a longing character study that pits man versus beast, ultimately for the betterment of both. As part of a state-mandated social rehabilitation assignment, ex-convict Roman (Matthias Schoenaerts) joins a program training wild mustangs, where he find his greatest test in one particularly raging wild animal.
